Ns would probably be more fun if you just laughed and suggested your own idea but yeah do it your way

i know, i didnt love my butthurt response either but i think gear talk should be free of misleading jokes and shit. listing defunct ski brands to someone asking for gear advice isnt helpful

OP, give me a little more info about yourself-- weight, skill level, interests in skiing, where you ski, what you think you want in a ski (stiff, soft, medium flex?), how much youll be using them for park vs all mtn-- and ill at least find you a couple decent deals

OMG, DOUBLE FUCKING NEWS FLASH: someone on NS wasn't helpful.


OP, tell us more details: how much do you weigh? what kind of skiing do you do? Are you mostly in the park, or mostly on the mountain and want to dip in the park sometimes? Any skis you've tried and liked/disliked in the past?

The Line Honey Badger isn't totally awful and evo has it for a good price. At 1.7 you should grab the 166's.

Second this suggestion, you can probably get last year's skis for way less too if there's any left at this point.

I had a pair of the 166cm and I'm just a little shorter than you are. They're pretty light, flexible without being a noodle, they pop nicely, really lovable skis. They're not going to be very great in powder, they're just not made for that but they're good for general big mountain.

The skis I REALLY want to suggest are out of your price range to buy new anyways. I've used Moment PB&J's for park, powder and big mountain and those are money. They float incredibly well but they're not total boats so you can use them anywhere. If you can find a set of those used on here or a model from a previous year. I really love those ones.
